Hey
I've recently build my new system but i guess i didn't do enough background research on my components since I was one of the many who paired an ASUS P6TD v1 board with an Intel Core I7 930.
Been having problems ever since building it. Would have long stable periods and then not be able to do a single thing without the system hanging up. So I've decided to change out the motherboard. However I would prefer to not have this happen again with hardware incompatibility problems.
I am looking at getting an ASUS Rampage III Extreme. I would just like some help to make sure that the components that will be carried over to this new motherboard will not cause any problems. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
David
Current Hardware Setup
OS -- Windows 7 Pro
CPU -- Intel Core I7 930
Motherboard -- ASUS P6TD v1
Memory -- 12GB of GSkill DDR3 2000 (6x2GB)
GPU -- Dual ATI Radeon HD 5870
PSU -- Corsair TX950
HDD -- Seagate 500GB
If I'm missing something I can let you know what it is
Also a side question, my Windows 7 OS is legit with a legit key and I'm wondering what will happen when I change the motherboard. I've heard that the product key "locks" onto the motherboard that your system has and so I'm thinking that it might void my key when I make this motherboard swap. Any truth in this or will I be ok?
Thanks again.
